Day 26


Parker was very awake and alert most of the day today. That always excites us! He had a hard time with his feeding last night so they kept him NPO. His doctor decided today to push his feeding tube a little further down into the duodenum and do a continuous feed that way. We will see how he does with that. We have all been frustrated with his feedings and him riding the vent. The doctor said that a course of steroids should help his lungs and hopefully get him towards coming off the vent. He will also be getting a blood transfusion tonight. The good news is that he is getting stronger and gaining weight.
